Just... no words. Iconic almost seems petty when describing him. His voice was a physical presence. RIP.

I didn't realize he was so old. I thought he was in his 80's.

II was just on my way to post this. One hell of a guy. His appearance on Big Bang Theory shows he had a great sense of humour. RIP

What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
